Chapter 492 - Akashas Records (11) (2/2)

‘They’re strong!’ As soon as they collided, Yeon-woo could feel the strength of his opponents. It was a single clash but his hands had immediately grown numb, and his scales, which were stronger than most armor, had been crushed along with his muscles and bones. Regeneration helped him recover quickly, but it was hard to believe that this would happen even though the revelations had made him so much stronger. ‘But…’ Still, he didn’t lose his nerve. Instead, he grew more self-assured. ‘I’m strong too.’

He was stronger than he’d expected. In the past, the clash would have left his entire body bloody, but now, only his right hand was slightly crushed. ‘It might be doable!’

He instantly chased after the Demonism. Along with Allforone, the Demonism had been caught off guard as well. They thought the collision would leave him on the brink of death. Spark!

[Meteor Sword Art - Sword Thunder]

Meteor Sword Art condensed in his hand, emitting a black-red light so bright it was almost blinding. He lashed it down on the back of the Demonism’s neck. Clang. He felt like he’d hit steel. Since the Demonism was inside Vigrid, its body was the sword itself, which explained the metallic sound. Yeon-woo was aware of this, and so he’d protected his hand with layers of Aura first. A long injury on the Demonism’s torso.

‘Too shallow.’ Yeon-woo clucked his tongue. He thought he had found the Demonism’s weakness, but he had quickly moved back after realizing what Yeon-woo was up to, and Yeon-woo had only managed to reach him with his fingertips.

Still, the Demonism hadn’t been able to avoid Yeon-woo completely and instead of blood, darkness spurted out of the wound. Although blackness immediately healed the injury, it didn’t heal the Demonism’s hurt pride. 『You dare!』

He had only allowed the first attack to observe Yeon-woo’s abilities, but Yeon-woo had attacked while he was busy with Allforone. If the injury had been any deeper, he would’ve died. It wasn’t that death applied to spirit bodies like him, but it couldn’t accept that a mortal had caught him off guard. 『I was going to savor you at the end, but if you want to be eaten that badly, be my guest! I won’t stop you!』 The Demonism dashed towards Yeon-woo with sharp teeth glinting in its wide-open maw.

Yeon-woo instinctively flapped his Sky Wings and activated Blink. Everything in the spot where he had just stood was ripped apart—not only were the shelves and books torn asunder, even space itself was blown away. The teeth marks that the Demonism left behind revealed pitch-black emptiness that reminded him of a shark eating its prey ravenously. If he had been caught in the attack, even his soul wouldn’t be left behind.

Nothing existed within the Demonism’s maw, only an abyss that sucked everything inside like a black hole. It was most likely the true Demonism. Crash. The Demonism kicked off the ground as if to say that he wasn’t done. Boom! Boom!

He was too fast. Yeon-woo evaded him, but he was right at Yeon-woo’s heels, chewing and swallowing all the areas Yeon-woo had just been in. He gathered Sword Thunder to attempt a counterattack at the Demonism’s head, but the Demonism only scoffed and ate it with relish. 『Keekeekeek! Do you think that’ll work?』 The occasional bolt cut his arm or leg, but he quickly recovered with blackness.

‘Then…’ Yeon-woo’s eyes widened further at the being laughing so confidently. If the Demonism liked to eat that much, Yeon-woo would feed him to his heart’s content.

[Time Difference]

[Draconic Divine Eyes]

Golden eyes narrowed and searched for the being’s weaknesses. The Demonism was almost flawless, and it was hard to find imperfections in his spirit body. However, his vessel, Vigrid, wasn’t perfect. He could see the injury on the back of his neck.

[Breath]

With all his strength, he released the Draconic species’ greatest power along with the Dragon Heart that symbolized them: Breath condensed with Sword Thunder. Rumble! Although it was only a shallow Breath, a massive tsunami soared high up, as if it would blow away everything in his vicinity.

『You!』 The Demonism spread his darkness to stop the Breath. Black waves rolled around him like splashes of ink, but it wasn’t enough to stop the overwhelming Breath.

Whoosh. Not only did the Breath eat up the black waves, it swept away the Demonism as well. The Demonism shouted something, but he was buried under the explosive Breath, which pushed forward and erased everything it reached. The library’s books burned without leaving a trace behind.

Rumble. The collection of all knowledge in the world shook turbulently.
